Before leaving TEFL, our instructor, Keager, told us that if we do one thing in Buen
os Aires, it has to be to go to "La Bomba de Tiempo." Last night was our first time going. Within the first couple of minutes of stepping into the outdoor arena, we knew that we had found our element. The place was crowded with hippies and people our age. Everyone was just chilling out, drinking huge beers and smoking joints. After waiting for about an hour, the band finally came down the stairs in orange jumpsuits and took their places in front of 
different percussion instruments. As soon as they started playing, the crowd sprang to their feet and started moving to the beat of the drums. As the night went on, the intensity of the drumming grew stronger, and the dancing more rigorous. It was the best time I've had in Buenos Aires thus far. In the middle of the show, Lisa screamed over the music, "This is why I came to South America!!" We all agreed. You couldn't find this in anywhere else. We vowed to go every Monday.listen: http://www.myspace.com/labombadetiempopercusion
